Product Description
Winner of the Whitbread Prize for best first fiction, Oranges Are Not the Only Fruit is a coming-out novel from Winterson, the acclaimed author of The Passion and Sexing the Cherry. The narrator, Jeanette, cuts her teeth on the knowledge that she is one of God’s elect, but as this budding evangelical comes of age, and comes to terms with her preference for her own sex, the peculiar balance of her God-fearing household crumbles.

This is my favorite book by this author. The innocence and coming-of-age aspect makes the main character fully sympathetic and compelling. The conflict with her religious upbringing is well-crafted. And Winterson's prose, as always, is delicious. Makes me proud to be a lesbian.Verge

I was introduced to this wonderful book through my Brit Lit class. Winterson does an excellent job engaging the audience through her coming-of-age-novel. Not only is her novel about the struggles of homosexuality, loss of religion, and trying to find out where one fits in the world, but it is also about power struggles in relationships. Winterson weaves her semi-autobiographical novel with short fairy tales that delves deep into the psych.
